Ok, that is normal if the water pressure backs up from the valve at the end of the hose being closed. What I usually do is open the bottom of the pump like you were siphoning water and turn on the faucet. Get your desired temp set and put the fill side in/at/near the tank to be filled with the valve at the fill end off. That way you don't have to make a mad dash to your tank tripping over your cat or an errant shoe before the pressure backs up and decides you need to mop your floor. when you have your hose in position and your temp set, close the siphon valve (twist and turn up on the pump) and by the time you get to your tank the water should be a few seconds behind you. Also something I do is put a hand towel over the bottom of the pump to prevent the water from soaking everything.
